Silver, the gayest of the colors, too! (OK, so I really have no sense as to which color would be gayest, and I’m not using gay as in “bad” but gay as in stylish and expensive and perhaps a little bit, hmmm, festive?) She gave me the one she finally got from Free iPods. We already bought her one for Xmas, since we were so tired of listening to her kvetch about signing up for her free iPod (we includes Carolyn and Megan and my ma and pa). Come to think of it, I don’t think my ma and pa paid me back for their share of Mariko’s iPod mini…

I decided I wanted a second iPod to take to the gym that was filled with things I’d actually listen to, not every CD I own. Yay. Time for experiments. I was having a hard time fitting the programs from my RadioShark into the other iPod, too.

Speaking of mini, the Mac mini doesn’t come with much. No keyboard, no mouse. RAM is really expensive unless you buy it off the internet and void the warranty by installing it yourself. If you google for opening the mini, you’ll find a video that shows how you can do it with a putty knife! And it looks like and official Apple video! Oh, well, with all the extras I want, a mini is going to be closer to $1000 than the $500 list price. I guess I’ll just hold off for a while.
